Matter Press obsesses over pression as a contemporary creative form, and we are much more interested in how pression matters to you than how it matters to us. Out of a dense singularity that contained the entire universe: matter! That’s what we are looking for, these particular moments of pression, out of which expand the universal. Or something like that.

To that end, we’ve created a journal that publishes weekly pressions & depressions, a press that sponsors a chapbook petition, and two blogs, one here and the other at FlashFiction.Net. Tiny things will also appear here & there in the margins. We like to think of pression not as a gimmick or a temporary notion of the times. We like to think of the tiniest things mattering in astounding and lasting ways. We look forward to being wowed by what you bring to the world of pression, of the largeness that expands beyond its confines, astounding us for eons to e.
